    My favorite thing about the start of Perfect Circle was that I learned about them from Maynard's step mom - Maynard and I were friends (he was known as Jimmy then) in our teen years. It was while Tool was in hiatus between albums & I asked her what he was doing hoping to get the latest Tool dirt when she told me about APC.

    • @Gxie
      @Gxie Рік тому +4

      @C Snide That’s super cool u guys were old friends! Lucky you! Maynard is my all time favorite singer (Billy is a genius too☺️). Anyway, Jimmy as in the song “Jimmy?” I never look at song meanings or interpretations, so I guess that was where it came from! 🖤

  • @brybaby89
    @brybaby89 5 років тому +19

    I personally love Eat the Elephant. It's definitely more mellow but it's rich. I can't really explain it, but it's like the most ambivalent intro song ever. That little squeak "Just begin" at the end makes me smile.

    • @MetalDisciple97
      @MetalDisciple97 5 років тому +1

      When I saw them live in Berlin, they opened with that song and when Maynard sang "Ominous and daunting" I got goosebumps. He sang it in a hauntingly beautiful way, fantastic show

    Billy gets no respect. One of the most underrated writers. Maynard pretty much only sings, and gets more credit for Billy’s band than he should. Actually it’s the same with tool, he just does the lyrics and sings and everyone else actually makes the songs different.

    • @tn4234
      @tn4234 5 років тому +10

      I get that billy should get more praise cause the lyrics are amazing, but in tool case i think part of the cool vibe it has are maynard lyrics so... In my opinion both are great writing

    • @tn4234
      @tn4234 5 років тому +28

      And i dont think doing the lyrics and sing is "just doing the lyrics and sing" tool wouldnt be the same without maynard's singing

    • @Robert-vn6rw
      @Robert-vn6rw 5 років тому +29

      "Just the lyrics and sing" is such a naive and disrespectful statement. Lyrics are everything in giving meaning to a song and as far as singing, the melody and tone is whats brings life to such insane and beautiful music.

    • @dasein9980
      @dasein9980 5 років тому +4

      In all fairness, people's initial interest in APC was due to Maynard being in the band. I didn't know he didn't write the lyrics in APC though.

    I got to see APC open for NIN in 2000 during the Fragility tour. Back then, I had no idea Maynard was the singer of the band, and I specifically remember being confused by all of the Tool t-shirts I saw at that show, I remember thinking “I think these people are at the wrong show” 😂
